"We're still here, forced to watch people almost engaging in Russian roulette.

"The message is very clear, now's the time for bipartisan, now's the time for something as important as life and death, to put the State versus Federal Government aside, and fix the most dangerous level crossing in Victoria."

'Funding needed now'

Dianne Dejanovic's son Christian was killed at the St Albans level crossing in January 2012.

She says an underpass should be built there.

"We need the funding now, we need this Government (the Victorian Government) to make a decision now," Ms Dejanovic said.

"We can't keep waiting on this before there's another fatality.

"We want the Victorian State Government to step up to the mark now, and fund this crossing."

Mr Albanese also believes it is the State Government's responsibility.

"I've raised the issue with Terry Mulder (the Victorian Transport Minister) and I want to see a solution to this issue," Mr Albanese said.

"This (level crossing) is one of the worst in the country, that's why I'm here.

"I'm prepared as the Federal Minister sit down and discuss the issue further with the State Minister."

Mr Mulder says the State Government is currently upgrading five other level crossings.

He says the St Albans crossing is on the list for potential future upgrades, but the Commonwealth should contribute funding.

"We're doing five in our first term, which is extraordinary, not seen before," Mr Mulder said.

"We are planning St Albans, but we would like the Federal Government, now that they've shown such a great interest, to come up with the money.

"We've done the work, and I think that they should come up with the money."

A spokeswoman for Mr Mulder says the St Albans upgrade is number 13 on the list of upgrades.
